"When I did not receive the money from GiveDirectly there was a delay in my activities because of the lack of resources, but when I got the money I was able to move around doing farm activities."

"Before the transfer I had difficulties in paying my children school fees and couldn't buy a land in Zleh Town, but when I got the money I was able to pay their fees and purchase a parcel of land."

"The first thing I opted to do upon withdrawing the money was to settle a debt of $44. I borrowed this money from a neighbor two weeks before receiving the transfer to settle some school fees issues for my three children who had been sent out of school for fees. I was glad that GiveDirectly enabled me to pay on time since I was still waiting for customers to buy my charcoals to pay the debt. Thereafter, I bought a sack of maize for $62 so that I could have food security at home while concentrating on other things. After that, I opted to build a house using the remaining amount of money. I opted for this because I did not have a decent house. The house I had was very small, congested, and collapsing thus it was unsafe to dwell in."

"I want to see my family and i in our own space(house) where we would be without interference from anyone and with that we would have our peace of mind and be more respected."

"In the few years to come i want to see the lives of my children well transformed wherein they've been properly trained in school and have a good and steady source of income where they would be able to take care of me and themselves."

"GiveDirectly has done so well that i am able do things(pay my fees, cater to my family , etc) that i couldnt do which has boost my morale to a certain extent."

"Feeding my family is one of my paramount concern therefore, instead of spending extra money for food i would want to start a farm that will support my family in terms of feeding."

"I want to start a new business with my mkst recent transfer because with that i will be able to grow the money that GD has given to me so as to always have a flow of cash in the home."

"I have decided to renovate my house and buy a mattress with my most recent transfer as my house is very old and the zinc have holes in them thereby making it to leak when ever rain falls while my children mattress was very old and small,the three of them barely fitted on it."

"GiveDirectly mode of cash transfer is so unique that everyone on the program gets to receive their full amount as stated my the entity from the onset and everyone also has the choice as to how to spend their money."
